PARFORCE
The
Parforcejagd
(French: par force, by force ') is a hunt in which the hunting pack of dogs
is accompanied by horses It was already known to the Celts and was particularly popular
in the 17th and 18th centuries at the European royal houses. The high expenditure, which
brings this kind with it to hunt, limited it in the time before the Napoleonic wars on the nobility
The par
-
force
-
hunt is still practiced today, for example in France, the USA and Australia. During
the par
-
force
-
hunt, a suitably trained pack of dogs searches for the tracks of deer, foxes, wolves
or wild boar. The hunters who accompany and guide the pack ride horses and communicate with
Trompes de Chasse
until the dogs cover the game.
The parforce horn originally served as a signal tool for the par force hunt. The dogs are slower
than the game, for example, deer, but have a superior endurance and thus tire it. The dogs only
provide the game and a hunter intercepts it.
Johann Elias Ridinger
1698– 1767) was a German
painter, engraver, draughtsman and
publisher.
He is considered one of the most famous German engravers of animals, particularly
horses, hounds
and hunting
-
scenes.
He began his training in Ulm with the painter Christoph Resch, and later studied under
Johann Falch in Augsburg On the invitation of Wolf, Freiherr von Metternich (1706–31), he spent
three years in
Regensburg :
His c
oursing and visits to the riding school there proved decisive for his
development. His engraved, etched and scratched sheets show the animals in characteristic
movements and positions in a landscape environment. The ornamental movements in his works
show visibly Rococo stylistic tendencies. He later founded his own art publishing house in Augsburg,
where most of his works appeared. In 1759 he became the director of the Augsburg Stadtakademie.
His drawings were often executed with precision and taste and hence his work was held in high
esteem and was also transferred to decoration, porcelain, ceramics and

pewter.
Ridinger died april 10th, 1767 in Augsburg
